About: Growing up I always had a dog! I was taught how to care for them at a very young age. I grew up with a few different size dogs. I am most familiar with medium and small dogs, however I have worked with large ones. I know a little bit about training and grooming but I am still working on perfecting those skills. I currently work full time, however I have plenty of time before and after work to help care for your pets!! A typical weekday shift is 9-6 or 11-8. I work rotating weekends and Sundays are 10-7. I also have an hour break and I am willing to stop by to check in/let them out. I currently live in an apartment, it has a dog park and plenty of places for walks. I do not have any pets so that would not be an issue. Growing up I perfected the art of not letting animals out the door and making sure they are properly leashed for outings.
“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”
About: I work Monday through Friday, and I have evenings available every Thursday and Friday (along with every other weekend). How can I help you during this time? I own my home, and I am experienced in keeping cats separate when they’re only visiting. When possible, it would be ideal to keep your pet in your home - but they’re also welcome here!
“Alanah did a wonderful job relating to my dog and cat. She made sure that the dog had all the attention that she needed. She was on time and even stayed a little longer to ensure that Pepper was taken care of. She has a great attitude highly recommend her.”
“Alexandria took great care of our kitties while we were out of town! We have some finicky eaters and one who needs meds, and she didn’t have any issues with them. She was also kind enough to take our garbage cans from the curb and get the mail. I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped train my family’s dogs in the past so if there are any reinforcements or cues necessary on walks I’m more than capable of helping to keep a routine! I’m currently full time graduate student, but I have some free afternoons with plenty of time to walk your pets! I am also flexible to do drop ins for potty breaks and evening feedings. I do not have any pets but I can help care for your pet with walks! If there are specific needs your dog requires such as to be crated after walks I am more than willing to follow any directions for making sure your pet is safe and comfortable!
About: I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments, ranging from puppies to senior dogs, friendly dogs and aggressive dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I owned, cared for, and trained a German Shepherd. I currently own 2 Australian Shepherds, one whom I trained myself. I am very flexible this summer so I can take last minute bookings. I can do any time of day. My weekends are available also for walking, check-ins, or boarding! 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. I am able to take your dog on walks/runs or play with them inside the house. I can take them outside to the bathroom, feed them, whatever your dog needs!
About: I have had large dogs since I was 5 years old and currently have no puppy love! I would love to take care of your animals. I have had experience with all sizes of dogs/cats. Currently I have an open schedule since I am an off-season athlete! My days consist of coaching and working retail. I have extra time in my day that I would love to spend with animals! I would love to come to your home and care for your animal in their safe environment! I am very respectful of others spaces and follow house rules.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I currently have both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and different temperaments. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for dependable walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m calm, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I always follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable. You can expect consistent communication and photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family in West County! I work from home, which means I get plenty of breaks for dog walks, potty breaks, and cuddle visits throughout the day. I’m usually available mornings, midday, and early evenings on weekdays, plus weekends with a little notice. I love building routines with pets (and becoming part of their daily favorite-human rotation). I always follow your instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine and feel comfortable. I treat your home with respect and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. On walks, I stay aware of surroundings and keep things safe and calm. I use secure leashes/harnesses and adjust the walk based on your pet’s energy and needs—whether that’s a relaxed sniff-around or a more active walk. And of course, there’s plenty of love, attention, and reassurance built in. I’m also happy to clean up after pets as needed so everything stays tidy and stress-free. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, cared for, and at ease while you’re away.
About: I have experience from working at Kennelwood for 2 years and volunteering at the Humane Society. I've always cared and loved for animals and connected to them deeply. I am a college student so most of my freetime is in the afternoons and on weekends. Please understand if I need to study or do homework! I will respect any boundaries you put in your own home. I would be happy to play with your furry friends and make them feel loved even when their owners are gone.
“Blanca was an amazing caregiver to our two dogs while we were in Hawaii. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of them playing, chasing the ball, enjoying pets and scratches. We would definitely recommend Blanca and will 100% use her in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Renata, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times. I pay close attention to their needs, give lots of affection, and provide walks or playtime to keep them active and joyful. Your dog will also enjoy my large backyard, perfect for running, playing, and exploring safely. Whether it’s boarding in my home or daily walks, your dog will feel comfortable, cared for, and truly at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m available to care for your furry friend in the afternoons and evenings starting at 4:30 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I’m free all day on Wednesdays and Sundays, so I can give your dog plenty of attention and playtime! My home is a safe and secure environment for dogs. I have a large backyard where your furry friend can run, play, and explore safely. I also have a 7-year-old Pug who is very calm, enjoys socializing with other dogs, and respects their space. I make sure every dog feels comfortable and confident while in my care, giving them love, attention, and plenty of supervision at all times.
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with 12+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own cat, who recently passed away after a wonderful life. While I’m not ready to adopt yet, I’d love to care for yours. I’ve fostered a shelter cat, cared for a friend’s cat for about a year during COVID, and have cat-sat for friends many times. I also have some experience with dogs through friends—walking them together, spending time at dog parks, and playing with them at home. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes and personalities. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Depending on your pet’s needs, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine and ensure your cat receives consistent attention, companionship, and care. I live in a house with a calm, cat-friendly environment and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers a quiet, predictable space, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.
“Susan took such great care of my little fur baby while I was away for the holidays. She kept me updated with her visits and I knew my little Kiwi was in a great, loving hands while I was gone. I highly recommend Susan if you want someone who truly loves dogs and who'll care for them like they're her own. I will be using Susan to car for my fur baby whenever I need to travel.”

Kayleigh took such great care of my dog during her drop-in visits. She was incredibly flexible with my scheduling requests which made everything so much easier. I could tell my dog really enjoyed spending time with her and looked forward to seeing her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and reliable hands!
We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia. She was friendly, attentive, and took great care of our dog while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and she kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure all of her needs were met. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
It is so so clear that Beth loves our fuzzy babies—and they love her right back!!! She is a wonderful communicator and gentle as can be, playing with our two VERY high-energy spaniels. When we come home after they’ve been with her, they’re relaxed and totally unstressed. Thank you!!!
Gloria was absolutely wonderful while I was away. She was punctual, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout my entire trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave me total peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Gloria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog walker.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ellisville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ellisville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ellisville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
